Its time for some new tires for my F350. I currently have 265's and Im thinking about 295/75R16. I do tow a 15K camper and I see that they have a load of 3970 at 65psi which is better than the 265's 3415 at 80psi. Will I have any rubbing issues on the front? Any thoughts or opinions would be great. Pictures would be nice too.

I have 305 70r16 on mine and tow a 16k fifth wheel. I only have a slight tire rub when turning sharp in reverse. My truck is stock wiyh rear air bags.

It rubs only drivers side a little mine could be the inter finder was already out of shape a little when I bought it.

I have those BFG on my 2002 F350 CC LB 4x4. Had them on there for 65 thousand miles. GREAT TIRES !!!!!

That being said, I have them on Weld Super Single wheels 16 x 10 with a 2.5 - 3" lift - at full wheel cut the all but rub on the in wheel driver's side.

Wheel width and offset makes a huge difference.

Ps, my tires wore flat and even. You need a wide wheel for that tire to wear well.

Im not intersted in 305's, Just 295's

My 295s don't rub with 16x8s and stock suspension. That being said, I do notice that they tend to dry rot in that they develop cracks after a few years. I've used this brand for many years but might try something else next time around.

The 295's have a higher load rating, still load E

 

[69mach1377]

IIRC they are D rated...but what really matters is the 'xxxx lbs' rating. I only air them up to 55 psi at most, whereas Es like about 75, which makes for a harder ride.

I think they both have the same LBS rating. I don't mind the rough ride. I wonder how they'd hold up towing 15.5k
